Investing Ben FrankIin,s Money.

In 1890 will end the term Of 100 years
during which the cities of Boston and
Philadelphia have each enjoyed the reye-
nue. from a bequest Of $1,000 made by
Benjamin Franklin. The money was to
be loaned out to young married artifcers,
and the trust has been executed, although
the lapse of the century requires new
disposition Of the funds. It is significant
that while in Roston the S5, 900 has
grown to nearly 1928, 600, in Philadcl-
phia the So, 900 has become only &c.,
600, and that in both cases the amount
is less than Franklin estimated it should
be. But as the natural philosophers of
Franklin's day generally fell short of
the sage in ingenuity, so too the success
sive boards of trustees have been far
from equal to him in business ability. It
is interesting to note, however, that the
two funds still exist, and that part of
the Boston reserve goes IN the purchase
of a public recreation ground to be
known as Franklin Park Electyioal
Word.

WISE WORDS.


Silence is the sanctuary of prudence.
There il no joy like the JOY Of resolved
virtue.
Truth is a rock large enough for all to
stand upon.
Faith. is the pencil of the soul that
pictures heavenly things.
The worst Of slaves are those who are
constantly serving their passions.
Wescommonly Islander more through
vanity than through malice.
It is an irrefragable law Of mind that
moral efforts become definitely easier by
repetition
Tenderness makes woman grateful; a
noble manhood compels all her deep in
stincts of love.
Education is the leading Of human
souls to what is best, and making what
is best out of them.
The blessing of house is goodness
The honor of a house is hospitality. The
ornament of house is entertainment.
Companions are to be avoided that are
good for nothing; those to be sought and
frequented that excel in some quality or
other.
Every man takes care that his neighbor
shall not cheat him. But day comes
when he begins tocare that he does not
cheat his neighbor. Then all goes well.
He has changed his market cart into a
chariot of the sun.
These who have no ear for music must
be very careful how they speak about the
mysterious world of thrilling vibrations
which are idle noises to them And so
the true saint can be entirely appreciated
only by sanity natures.
We can use every part of our nature
conscience, intellect, heart and will--so
as to reaffirm the old verdict that all is
vanity and vexation of spirit; or we can
give ourselves up to the divine posi-
bilities within, and, living in them, find
ourrelationship to the Infinite Life that
has no limits.
The setting Of "a great hope is like the
setting of the sun. The brightness of our
life is gone. Shadows of evening fall
around us, and the world seems but dim
reflection, itself broader shadow. We
look forward into the coming lonely
night. The soul withdraws into itself.
Then stars arise, and the night is holy.

Divisions of Time.

A Solar Day is measured by the rota-
ton of the earth upon its axis, and is Of
different lengths, owing to the ellipticity
of the earth's orbit and other causes;
but d mean solar day, recorded by the
time-piece, is twenty-four hours long.
An Astronomical Day commences at
noon, and is counted from the first to
the twenty fourth hour. Al Civil Day
commences at midnight, and is counted
from the first to the twelfth hour, when
it is counted again from the first to the
twelfth hour. A Nautical Day is counted
as Civil Day, but commences, like an
Astronomical Day, from noon.
A Calendar Month varies in length
from % to 81 days. a Mean Lunar
Month is 30 days, u hours, IA minutes,
seconds and 5. "a thirds.
A Year is divided into 365 days.
A Solar Year, which is the time occu-
pied by the Sun in passing from one
Yernal Equinox to another, consists of
1853. 24244 solar days, or 1866 days, 8
hours, 48 minutes and 40. 536 seconds.
A Julian Year is 365 days. A Greg
orian Year is 365. 2425 days; every fourth
year is Bissextile or Leap Year, and is
366 days. The error of the Gregorian
computation amounts only to one day in
3571. 1886 years.
Every year, the number of which is
divisible by four without remainder is
a leap year, except the last year of the
century, which is a leap year only when
Invisible by 400 without remainder
Thus, the year 1900 will not be leap

Many of the Weapons of strange
shape and character to be found III
India deserve special not &c on account
Of their appropriateness to the district
in which they have originated. their
historical associations, or their indie
vidual peculiarly of shape and quality.
The kukri, the national weapon Of
Nepal, is about nineteen inches In
total length, with an unguarded hilt.
Its blade, generally of bright steel. is
i incurred, heavy and widening toward
/ the point. 1t has more the qualities Of
o good bill hook than anything Ell e,
! and this, indeed, was its original
function, for the Gorkha required it
not only for fighting purposes, but also
| to clear his way through the jungles
of the Terai In his practiced hands
/ the kukriis the handiest of tools and
the most formidable of Weapons how
formidable those who have been IN
action with the Gorkha batialions in
our service can we'll testify. Like the
kukri of the Gorkha, the big knife Of
the Coorg mountaineer derived its
shape from the daily necessities of life
in dense jungles. The tremendous
monsoon rains which break on the
mountains of the west coast of India
develop an extraordinarily 1uxuriant
Negotiation in the district, and the in
vabitants found the constant want of
an implement to open their way
through the thick underwood and
clumps Of bamboo. The Coorg knife,
the ayda katti, is about the same
length as the kukri. also with blade
incurred, but still wider and heavier.
One of its most remarkable character.
istics is that it has no sheath, but is
carried, slung naked, across the hips
through slit in a metal belt. The
belt is called todunga, and is made
generally in either brass or silver, of q
solid plate behind, fastening in front
with massive and handsome chains. A
spike projects to the rear from the
center Of this plate at the back. This
spike has no apparent definite use, but
it was remarked at the imperial as
semblage at Delhi that the Coorg
chiefs who were there in the costume
and wearing the arms of their native
country were not incommoded by any
crowd pressing on them from behind.
